Abstract excerpt
In many populations, unequal numbers of females and males reproduce each generation. This imbalance in the breeding sex ratio shapes patterns of genetic variation on the sex chromosomes and the autosomes in distinct ways. Despite recognition of this phenomenon, effects of the breeding sex ratio on some aspects of variation remain unclear, especially for populations with nonequilibrium demographic histories. To...
